One month after Vestas Wind Systems announced its largest wind turbine order in three years, the company is now beefing up its workforce in plants across Colorado and expects to add hundreds of production workers to its facilities in Windsor and Brighton by the first half of 2014.

The company has already hired hundreds of new employees to meet customer demands at its Pueblo tower factory, according to a Vestas news release. Now, attention is being turned to the company’s blade factory in Windsor and blade/nacelle factories in Brighton.

Vestas is looking for people who can work with machinery, power tools, gages and measuring tools, according to the release. Basic math and computer skills are also necessary, as is a high school diploma, GED or one to three months of related education experience.

Candidates are asked to apply at ElwoodWindJobs.com or look at vestas.com/jobs.
